Other people have entered their email addresses, applied for a password reminder, and had no answer. While I still have contact with the Rovernet admin guys in the UK so I can get advice from them, I'd like to ask: **** Have you been successful in entering the info page and changing your settings? **** Have you had trouble getting a password sent to you? In order to have a balanced picture, I'd be interested in both success and failure. Rather than clutter the list, would you send replies to my own address at: p6rovers at yahoo.com I haven't had problems but I'm too close to the operation.

The spring and air bulb cause the throttle to close more slowly, and this helps one of the emissions. I thought it might help my rough engine, so I installed it. I really couldn't discern any difference in the throttle closing rate, so I took it off.

The book says 77 VIP's were built, but all were RHD although this one is clearly LHD, either could have been switched over (easily engough) or could be a copycat? It could be one of many things. I do not believe any VIP's left the UK on original production. They weren't publicised by Rover at all. I have researched them at serious length in the past when I was editor of the Rover P6 Club magazine - and the statistic of 77 built is totally correct. The James Taylor book has errors though - the last VIP was actually built in January 1977 (one May 1976 car has a bogus 'Last Of Line' plate on it, which has caused errors in the past). >From what we discovered it's believed the reason that Rover saw fit to produce the VIP's is that they had a quantity of unused NADA type 3500S base units sitting about (dating from 1970-1971), and it was considered a good ploy to build a limited quantity of air con P6's as a run-out edition, to use them. Platignum is actually a bluey silver, it's quite a stunning shade. The car in the photos is a goldy/bronzy shade. The Huntsman roof and quarter panels are correct though. In addition it is noted that the original cars had Satin Brown sills & the interior was nutmeg brushed velour trim, (A' La SD1). It is difficult to say whether the sills are a different colour in these pictures (one does & the other doesn't, so I think it is the light), I beleive the sills are the same colour as the body?

So I thought I'd replace the leaking oils seal on the prop' shaft end of of the diff'. It had been leaking since I'd got the car and I thought it must be the original one. Finally got the prop shaft and flange off to discover the reason it was leaking: There wasn't even a seal in place, there was evidence that one had once graced the flange with it's existance. But there was nothing of one now. So: *Rant on* What sort of mechanic would remove an oil seal from the final drive and give it back to the owner? (I could see rounded nuts of bad mechanic work there already). Bloody cowboys, probably the same mechanic who 'rebuilt' the rear calipers with the lever in the wrong place so that I was only getting 30% braking effort. Who are those maniacs? Why haven't they been put against the wall and backed into by a tow truck? Argggh! And I hate trying to get gear oil back into the damn diff. *Rant off* Sorry about the above but I wanted to moan to somebody who would understand.

The consolation is that as you work your way through the car, you will be confident that you have done the work and it won't be THAT part which will have to be renewed.

When I bought it, I also bought a very cheap pump that was designed to go with that container. It is basically the same as the pump dispenser on a bottle of liquid hand soap, but bigger and with an 18-inch or so plastic tube, so one just pumps the oil into the differential. I would probably have gotten it at Kragen or someplace similar. Is this kind of thing still available? For us shade-tree mechanics who will probably only use it a few times in their lifetime, it sure makes a lot more sense than a $60 professional-grade tool.

I just keep getting further behind. This is still a hobby and I still have a full-time job which I love. My new church is fantastic and I stay very busy there, even more so than when I was at St. Mark's. Fortunately, this time around, I have a great secretary and lots of very good volunteers. It is a poor neighborhood with lots of needs. The older of the two buildings is falling down and in need of major repairs (we just started a capital funds campaign). The music is lively. The people are responsive and appreciative, which makes me want to work that much harder. I have four retired military chaplains and two former pastors of the congregation who love to help and don't try to interfere. As a "parts supplier" I have trouble with pricing. I either want to give stuff away or charge too much and I don't want to compete with Ruth or Dermot or James who depend on their parts business for a livelihood. What I have learned recently is that one needs to plan for the disposition of one's possessions. Besides Ron's Rover stuff, there have been two long-time British parts suppliers and one hobbyist in the area who have recently passed away or become incapacitated and left their families to dispose of their stuff...a real headache. One widdow is having a "garage sale" next weekend...ten cents per pound. I recently "inherited" three Triumph GT6's and a fellow wants me to take two of his MGB's (one is a roadster with A/C, a Weber DCOE and wire wheels which I really like.) I need to cut up and haul some carcasses and clean out the "tank" at Medina so the deer have some water. Isn't life great. Rover(un)retiredly, Kent K.

The famous No. 100 car (the gold Earl's Court 1963 one) had base unit number M 000145 or very close if I remember, which means there were about 45 'production' base units used on pre-production cars. Your car was built, probably, in early 1964, and will have Rover Solihull built gearbox - not a Pengram Works one - the whole initial batch of Pengram built gearboxes were recalled to be modified and have orange paint on the top of them. I suspect yours won't have it (my September 1964 car does) Cheers Nick -----Original Message----- From: JULIET KEILER <lingfield51 at btinternet.com> To: The original list for Rover car enthusiasts. <rovernet at rovernet.ca> Sent: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 16:31 Subject: Re: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] Strange ID label You're almost right Nick, actually no 1670 and sadly the door trim was one of the few bits that didn't arrive with all the boxes of bits, doubt I'll get a set of them on Ebay! :) nice to know what it means though. ?

I saw it whilst looking through ebay the other day, but have some reservations about it. The auction says it hasn't ever had a respray, but it's got a V8 bonnet and series 2 rear wings, and a lot of other mods to it, including a mess made of the dash area.

I have a 1964 P6 SC LHD and a 1967 TC LHD both are 4 speeds, both are White the TC has the Blue pin stripes, the SC has red interior, it has zero rust. I have just managed to get the TC on the road and drove it around the block, it had been stored for 10 years, I had to do alot of work and still have more to do, it has surface rust from poor storage the interior is some what cooked. I am trying to finish the SC it had the motor rebuilt 17 years ago and then the Dunlop brakes failed and it got parked with 800 miles on the new motor. I recently replace the original master with a slightly modified part from Ruth Burgess (all british cars) in Vancouver, Ruth has been an amazing help with parts and priceless advice and I would have been stuck with out her assistance, I am an amateur mechanic but I am English and have had alot of 60's English cars and this has helped. I have had it started and it runs really smoothly, of course I "soaked" the motor in oil for months. I am now installing the rebuilt carb, the new plugs and replacing all the oils and lubing, fingers crossed I should be driving it very soon. I have just posted some P5 3 litre parts on Ebay USA, including a completed set of wood trim for the doors/windows and some gasket sets and an block boring template, my user name is ask4pete and I will be posting more P5 items as I get them out of storage, I sold my P5.

As for the needles, the choices are: the viton (rubber) tipped vs the metal tipped with a spring plunger (but you can't specifically order either, it's down to the supplier) or the Gross double ball assembly. In my experience, the viton tip is the most reliable, followed by the Gross which actually works better than the viton except that some installations with the Gross always seep. I often wonder if that could be a vibration and mounting issue. Fortunately, the TC setup with the flexible mounts seems to work very well with the Gross needles. As for source, in addition to the others suggested, I'd be checking out Volvo suppliers. For quite some time Volvo stocked the Gross jet as well as the standard type, so I would expect that a vintage Volvo supplier could help.

As for source, in addition to the others suggested, I'd be checking out Volvo suppliers. For quite some time Volvo stocked the Gross jet as well as the standard type, so I would expect that a vintage Volvo supplier could help.

There are other vehicles that use the same HD-8 carbs, that they can cross reference you to. They do not stock Rover parts, but a SU is a SU. I believe that Healey's and some Jags use the HD's.

I personally have them in my two active MG's and have had no difficulty with them. However some people seem to dislike them very much??? I put a brand new set of SU's (Burlien) on my 1954 MGTF a couple of years ago and had a very bad overflow leakage problem from one of them. I cleared the float seat several times and just could not get it function properly. Took the gross jets out of my old set, installed them and the engine just purred, very smoothly. They are still in there! MOSS also carries them. I mention MOSS quite often, because I use them often. I know they do not support Rover's, because of the small numbers, but for many items made by SU or Lucas, they are a good source. Many British car parts and repair shops are MOSS distributors with many of these items available locally. For example, I am located just out of Vancouver, WA (Nine miles North of Portland, OR) and have three MOSS distributors within easy driving distance. One of them gives a 10% discount off of MOSS prices ( he does this for those that belong to British car clubs in the area), no shipping charges and no sales tax, because it is in Oregon. You Rover folks should become somewhat familiar with MOSS for the support. Their catalogs are free - a Jag catalog might be appropriate as a reference.

I noticed that the dead battery that came in the car was wired incorrectly to neg earth? My car is positive earth/ground. Meaning some one had run the car with reversed polarity? I was finally ready to start the car yesterday and bought a new battery, on connecting the new battery correctly I noticed a spark from a load with all switches off? Then there was smoke in the car? help fire! I very Quickly disconnected the battery and traced the smoking wire to an original wire under the dash, I cut the wire and put the battery back and the short/ load/spark was gone. I then easily started the car after its 17 year slumber and let it run for 30 mins to normal operating temp/gauge worked, and it sounded great. I checked to find that I had horn, headlights, full & dipped. But no side, tail, stop or turn lights? Could the battery being in reverse have damaged something and what? Any help would be a great!

I don't think your 'smokin' dash is down to the polarity. My understanding is polarity makes no difference at all to lighting. I think it only affects the dynamo (which has to have the field coils re energised to the correct polarity) and any electronic components like a radio. I think also the spark 'jumps' the wrong way at the plug gap but no doubt it would still ignite the fuel. Sounds to me like you had a short circuit somewhere behind the dash and cutting the wire solved it by cutting of the power feed.? Now all you have to do is find it !!!

Auto makers are now using a vinyl film in some areas of the car to protect from scuffing and to give a little traction. You see it on the top of rear bumpers of hatch back cars and sometimes on door sills. It is applied directly over painted surfaces, apparently with no harm to the paint. The film is got a rough surface and an adhesive back. You install it by cleaning very thoroughly then spraying the surface with soapy water. Peel the backing paper, set gently in place and position. Once in place apply pressure and squeegee all the water out. Where can I find this material? I would like to make my own door sill protectors.

I spent the summer working on my son's boat which has simpler problems with easy solutions . I'm now back to the Rover's brakes . I've made some progress . The later edition of the Rover shop manual recommends swapping the order of the brake pipes along the slave cylinder . This has allowed me to bleed the brakes properly . Many of the strange transient braking problems have now disappeared . I have extremely heavy brakes which will stop the car in a straight line, at least from 20 mph However ,I have no power assistance. I have rebuilt the servo several times and am now sure it has been done properly .I decided to check out the vacuum side , with the following results A vacuum gauge on the outlet of the booster , leading to the master cylinder , shows vacuum which varies with engine speed . The booster holds vacuum when the engine is switched off ; which means that the non return valves are seating properly and there is no leakage across the diaphragm [ This test is run with the opposite side of the booster vented to atmosphere ] Similar results at the inlet to the Big White Valve[ B W V]on the master cylinder , indicating that the connection under the engine is clear and leak free There is a much lower vacuum at the outlet connection to the BWV. This vacuum does not vary with engine speed Does this indicate a steady air bleed across the BWV ??? Similar situation measuring vacuum with a T connection at the inlet to the booster , indicating the under engine line is clear and not leaking and the booster body is not leaking Vacuum falls rapidly when the brake pedal is pressed , indicating that the master cylinder is tripping the air vent in the BWV Vacuum on this side of the booster disappears instantaneously when the engine stops . I would have expected it to die away slowly unless the brake pedal is pressed . Conclusions ?? I suspect that there is a problem with the BWV on the master cylinder. I think it is leaking air into the booster circuit . ?? The complete master cylinder/ BWV is a brand new unit from " Lucas TRW - Japan"which I hope is capable of supplying reliable parts . I would appreciate any advice and constructive comments . I would like to be mobile before the first snow . My wife leaves the Yellow Pages open at "scrap metal wanted " in the bathroom , a sure sign of mounting displeasure.

You mentioned swapping around the pipes to the servo bodies (Slave cylinders?). If you're not getting any servo assistance you might want to check that the input from the master cylinder is coming in to the side port of the servo cylinder and the output to the calipers comes off the end of the servo, otherwise you won't get any help from the servo. As for the vacuum issues, I got a little confused with your discription. The conditions should be like this: *Engine running, no pressure on brake pedal*: Vacuum on both sides of the diaphram. BWV remains closed. No air getting sucked into the BWV With an equal vacuum on both sides of the diaphram the piston in the slave cylinder will not move forward. *Engine running, pressure on brake pedal*: Vacuum on cylinder side of diaphram (front of vacuum chamber), BWV open. Air gets sucked into the BWV. If you unclip the top small cover of the BWV you will see plastic valve with a rubber seal at it's base. When you pressurize the system by treading on the pedal, this will not be seated. This allows atmospheric pressure to 'help' your braking effort. With the vacuum on the front of the diaphram 'pulling' the diaphram and hydrolic piston forward. *Test the BWV* To test correct operation of the BWV have someone sit in the car with engine running. Unclip the small covers of the BWV (The small cover contains a filtre to stop dust getting into the valve and a light spring to bias the plastic valve inside. This is not the main cover that is screwed down). When the chap in the car presses pedal you should see the two small plastic valves lift a little and you should be able to hear air being sucked into the servos. If that's happening thats good. Get you chap to release the pedal, now the valves should drop and seal the vacuum leak you just heard. If that works your air valves (as the BWV are known) are doing what they 'oughta. (working). By your discription it sounds like the check valves that the hoses connect to are fine and holding a vacuum, so we can assume they are good. The other thing that could stop the servos working correctly and still give the conditions you mention would be an incorrectly assmbled or split diaphram. But that would be unlikely on both servos. Did you make sure the the diaphrams were snapped over the big bakelite plates in the vacuum chambers? Is there a chance that they may have slipped off during re-assembly? Hope that helps some. If you want to call me to chat about this email me at sdibdin at hotmail.com and I'll send you my cell number.

I then got another type which worked better. The rod like clamps to hold the spring assembly in compression are not available so I made a set of 3 from high tensile steel which worked fine although I never trusted them, I later saw a factory set and they were no better than those I made. Many springs later I found the best and safest way to compress the springs with the end cups in place was in a hydraulic press ! Simply put the spring in place with a very solid bottom rest plate in place, something to fit into the recessed cup ( I used a piece of 2in solid plastic rod, about 4in long) then apply pressure and the spring will compress, when the correct length is reached install the rod clamps and it is safe to move to the car. A word of warning, the springs have enormous energy when compressed, if they are dropped and the spring is suddenly set free it is a VERY dangerous thing. A broken arm or leg or worse could easily result You have been warned, playing with springs is playing with fire.

You may remember the car (Tobacco Leaf car from California on Ebay some time back). When the car was delivered the guys operating the hydraulic ramps on the trailer forgot to unchain the car and actually bent it when changing the ramp position. Albert took it to a frame shop where they were able to bend it back. The car is beautiful and after being off the road with a bad water pump, Albert has it running again (thanks Ruth). It has the sweetest BW35 that shifts perfectly and it rides as only a P6 can. Albert is still playing with the SPAX adjustable shocks. The car never had A/C or a radio and the interior is a color I'm not familiar with, very close to the the tobacco leaf exterior but a little more golden (nutmeg?) Does anyone else have an interior this color? What is the name of the color? The old adage "Pay the money up front to get the best" really bears out in this case. Car is all original and well preserved. Roverly, Kent K.

I started to bleed the new clutch slave yesterday on the P6 1964 SC LHD, it bled easily and I jumped in the car and started it, (with the fire wire still disced) but no clutch just alot of grinding if I tried for a gear. So knowing that the mechanism worked and that the clutch might be stuck, due to the the 17 years with out moving, I put it in gear and kept starting it, forward, then reverse and just when I was about to give up there was a pop! and presto I had a clutch. I drove gingerly back and fourth a few feet as I still have poor brakes (coz I fixed 'em) and I was close to the gate. The car smoothly ran back and fourth and the clutch felt great! I thought you might like to hear my succes story so far! Cheers, Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Roatates fine when disconnected as does the diff disc/ short driveshaft assembly but once connected... it just won't have it. Just to complicate things the yoke that connects the driveshaft to the disc is a 'new used' item not the original. The information available to me suggest these never changed throughout production and were the same on all models. At no point can i see anything binding or any parts of the yoke/driveshaft/hubs touching each other which leads me to believe it must be the UJ. Assembly was straightforward without any real problems and given the tolerances between needle rollers and UJ I cannot believe there is any debris in there causing problems as it would never have gone together. Anyone got and ideas or come across the problem before? One side was rebuilt the same and spins fine the other doesn't!!!

Drill a hole with a holesaw in the bottom of the bellhousing; may have to be about 1.5 inches, located behind the flywheel, so you can reach the clutch attachment bolts. Back them all off slightly, without removing them.Use a thin screwdriver to work a hacksaw blade between disc and flywheel, and free up the disc, and of course, on the pressure plate side. Retighten the bolts, then put a rubber plug in the new hole Problem solved.You might be able to go one step further and replace disc andpressure plate.. Back in the days.. There was a heavily guarded secret of the 4 hour clutch job on an XKE. A few older Jag mechanics talked of a special tool; no one ever told their secret.Once I learned it, I continued this black art secrecy.. An Etype clutch was a 20 hour job, which could be done in 12, removing engine and gearbox. The secret tool took 8 hours off that.. The Etype would be prepared on stands, the helper would unbolt everything.Then the helper was sent on a cross town parts run, and to pick up lunch.As soon as he left, the gearbox was drilled to remove the clutch bolts, and gearbox pulled back, but not dropped. The clutch was removed, and a new disc and pressure plate installed. The gearbox only had room to slide back 2-3 inches, but it was room to change the clutch. I think the release bearing could also be changed, but do not think the flywheel could be removed. When the helper returned, the gearbox was back in the car, waiting for him to finish details..Hecould see the new plug, but had no idea the special tool was a holesaw. He would marvel at the knowledge of the masters, and the legend of the special secret tool was perpetuated.. Someone should try this on a Rover. I am curious how it would work. Today no one wants holes drilled in their $60,000 Etype, but a Rover owner might not mind one to save 10 hours... James Dean, Ft.

Well, I bought it for the Buy It Now price which when translated into UK ?'s is pretty cheap. I was wondering two things: 1. Is anyone close to the Louisville, KY area who might be persuaded to take a look at it for me? The owner seems like a good chap and doesn't mind holding onto it for a couple of weeks for me. It doesn't run now, but did albeit roughly when he last put a battery into it - according to the auction. I'm hoping that after cleaning out the fuel system and giving it a service, it should be okay. 2. Has anyone got any experience of shipping cars from the US to the UK? I've spoken to a couple of agents, and am waiting for another couple to get back to me. The consensus seems to be around the $1200-1800 mark for shipping, so far from Charleston, SC to London, and $650 from KY to Charleston. When translated into ?'s, that isn't too bad. Just spent the afternoon in the garage stripping more of my RHD NADA 3500S out. I swear that whomever left it outside for 20 years should be shot. There isn't a single panel that doesn't have rust in it, and the chassis is a mess. At least the mechanics and interior are fine..

I have also seen K&N filters mounted at the front of the engine bay and ducted to the carbs with black plastic hose... The "mousetrap" isn't that bad - if the vacuum motor is flaky then lock the intake for cold air or hot air - the vacuum system was designed to maintain a reasonably constant air temperature for emissions purposes by blending cold air with warm air from the hot box around the manifold. You may want to lock it in the "hot air" position in winter...

I have used the 'Jaguar Trick' several times over the years on my 1969 TC. I use a Palette knife to slip between the clutch disc and the flywheel. I usually store my TC for a couple of months in the Summer. I have taken to wiring the clutch open to prevent the clutch sticking, which it will often do after even a few weeks of storage.

The first had major suspension damage ; it had been tied down using the steering arms . The second arrived minus spot lights and wheeltrims , which had been removed and locked in the trunk before shipping If you ship in a container you really need to find a specialist shipper who understands old cars . I've heard horror stories of old cars packed into containers which were " stuffed with other packages , cars and their heavy spares not properly secured into an empty container.I have seen pictures of a Rolls which wasn't fastened down inside the container before a winter trans atlantic crossing . There are people who can do it right , the trick is to find them . Also watch out for the infamous Shipping Agents charges for port and customs clearances . plus a host of other costs which accrue between the time the ship ties up and you get your car out of the port . All these costs are usually in addition to the base shipping cost quote . It's the same idea as renting a car at Heathrow or even buying an airline ticket these days . The first cost you see is NOT the final cost of the complete transaction Cheers Patrick .riginal Message ----- From: Chris Meadows To: The original list for Rover car enthusiasts.

By dropping the diff by about 50mm the shaft rotated perfectly. I did have some of the diff bracket mounting washers/spacers incorrectly located which coupled with the mis-alignment of the diff caused the problem. All OK now but hard to believe such small differences would have such a huge impact!

Roatates fine when disconnected as does the diff disc/ short driveshaft assembly but once connected... it just won't have it. Just to complicate things the yoke that connects the driveshaft to the disc is a 'new used' item not the original. The information available to me suggest these never changed throughout production and were the same on all models. At no point can i see anything binding or any parts of the yoke/driveshaft/hubs touching each other which leads me to believe it must be the UJ. Assembly was straightforward without any real problems and given the tolerances between needle rollers and UJ I cannot believe there is any debris in there causing problems as it would never have gone together. Anyone got and ideas or come across the problem before? One side was rebuilt the same and spins fine the other doesn't!!!

I know P6's are "Different" , I haven't worked on the front end of one for over 30 years but just as jet engines do the compression thing the same as petrol and diesels, surely a cheap spring squasher can be made to do the job of a more oddball gadget.

My favourite way of squashing springs was to put them under the single post hoist and then to to braze some coathanger wire around them. Reassemble in reverse order, put car on ground and cut coat hanger wires with large side cutters. PING, PING, PING and PING... Safe enough. Couldn't get away. It's all kinetic, you know. Problem is getting the coiled Iron Mongery out. We are trying to store all that energy. If you use those horrible cheap compressors they are liable to slip. So roughen up the insides of the hooks. Now you will get a grip on it. I am rough as guts though and use a rattle gun on them. Had a few pop out but I am still here........ For now . Can someone come up with a better solution, please. What is it that is so hard about P6 front ends, I changed camber on them when they where new. Holden tell me that I have to use some weird special tool to unspring a HQ front end. I don't.. Maybe our Ozzie Bush Mechanics sorted that before me. Them dark fella's are so cool. I just use that coarse screw gadget on everything. It works. Just be carefull, OK. The Olympics are over. Nuff said, Damien , have been distractacted while writing this. Had "Scorched" on the other screen. Probably something Californians on Rovernet should see. The pictures were the Canberra Fires, I know all the places they were talking about in Sydney but the scene is SE Qld. DeSal Plant, Lady Premier, Got It.. Our Future. Now back to Rover Stuff. Hope I can get you all to have a go at the rough stuff. Use them crude tools, but be carefull. Please. We can fix our gizmos with the cheap tools. Spring Compressors, roughen up the inside of the hooks and use Moly on the threads. That'll work, eh. Regards. MWJ. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
